Aside from being a very concerned and dedicated provider in all aspects of bariatric care, Dr. Adeyeri is an outstanding surgeon whose passion for returning his patients to a healthy, committed lifestyle change is extraordinary. I have met few people, whether in medicine or not, who are the patients definition of concise and excellent precision regarding surgery. Dr. Adeyeri performed two surgeries on me (one for the removal of a defective lap band, and then for a the full gastric bypass), both of which were life - changing and as smooth as can ever be imagined. I fully recommend Dr. Adeyeri as a bariatric surgeon...given his expertise, his patient management, his appreciation of individual sensitivities and personality issues in weight control and food issues..and his precise surgical and post - op techniques in restoring people like myself to health and a longer, more problem - free life.

My experience with Dr. Sowemimo of Central Jersey Bariatrics was a very positive one. I first met with Dr. Sowemimo in July of 2012 as an initial consultation, he "filled the blanks in" for the difference in surgeries and helped me in my decision on which route to go with my weight loss surgery. Together we decided that the vertical Gastric Sleeve was the best option for me. During this same appointment, he gave me the information for the additional testing I would need along with all the paperwork and procedures to get insurance approvals. I met monthly with Julie Parrott, the nutritionist for Central Jersey Bariactrics for the next three months. No matter who I was meeting with the visits to their office were always enjoyable and I never left with any unanswered questions.

My surgery was 12/5/2012 at Centra State Medical Center. I arrived at approximately 7:30 am for pre-op procedures. Just prior to the surgery Dr. Sowemimo came into the pre-op holding area, asking how I was feeling and gave me a rundown of the itinerary and procedures for my surgery. Dr. Sowemimo met with me in the recovery room after surgery, to let me know that everything went well, there were no complications, and explained the rest of the procedures for my stay at the hospital including what my diet would be, when my drain would be removed, and what was expected of me while in the hospital.

Since having surgery, I am quite pleased. I have lost almost a 1/3 of my goal weight, have more energy, and feel healthier then I have in a long time.

I am a patient of Dr. Sowemimo's. On 12-19-12 I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypas. This is a surgery that I was considering for 3+ years and it wasn't until one of my closest friends had it done earlier this year did I know I was 100% ready. She told me about Dr. S and what a wonderful bedside manner he had and how thorough and professional he was. I accompanied my friend to Dr. S.'s office for her post-op visit and I knew immediately that I had found my surgeon. He was warm and friendly, gentle and comforting. He took time to answer questions and was generally concerned with how my friend was feeling post-op. I scheduled my consultation with Dr. S. and was happily on my way to a better, healthier life. I am an overweight 45 year old female with diabetes and I decided that I just couldn't live this way anymore. I attended 6 months of nutritional counseling with Julie and she was incredibly informative and supportive. She prepared me for my post-op life and how I would have to make changes for my success. The office staff at Prime was tops. Seriously, they were so helpful and always went above and beyond to answer my questions, look for information that I needed, etc. Dr. Sowemimo was incredibly honest about the risks of surgery and he didn't hold back. He didn't sugarcoat anything, but at the same time he made me feel confident that I could do this. I would highly recommend Dr. Sowemimo to anyone that is looking to have weight loss surgery.

He overall was a great surgeon. During the 3 month process of doctors' visits with insurance, I was helped with all the questions and concerns that I had. The staff in the office made me feel welcome and that this is what I needed to do for myself. Dr. Sowemimo never made me feel umfortable or doubtful, but instead was always positive and comforting. I am so greatful that I went through with this surgery with Dr. Sowemimo because this is a new start in my life the way I want it to be, under control. I am so greatful. I would reccommend him and his staff to everyone in need!

Dr. Seun has been terrific. He has been supportive and honest through the whole procedure. It's been ten day since the surgery and Ive lost 20 lbs. I'm really looking foward to hitting my goal weight of 200lbs. The staff that Dr. Seun has is unsurpassed by none they are polite and very efficient. I would suggest anyone whois looking to get this procedure done come to Centrastate and see Dr. Seun.

I am currently 3 months post op gastric by-pass surgery and things are going great. I have lost aprroximately 40% of my excess weight so far. Dr Seun is a warm, approachable,and professional physician. He was clear about the surgery options and outcomes of each. I see Dr Seun at each support meeting which shows that he really cares about his patients success post op. His approach toward weight loss is very balanced. He explains bariatric surgery is a tool but diet and exercise must be an essential part for the best outcome. My experience with his entire office has been pleasant and would reccomend Dr Sowemimo if someone is considering bariatric surgery.

starting the process of mentally preparing for this surgery was the hardest part of the process for me but ounce committed Dr A and his staff are absolutely wonderful. My Max weight was 450 and i am 6'1" when i decided to see Dr A i was 435 and absoletly tired of being over weight my entire life since 5 years old, i am now 38. As i am writing this review i am five days out of surgery and 100% satisfied with Dr A and his wonderful staff, all are very well informed and will put your mind at ease the entire step of the way. Dr A's staff handled the most annoying parts of the insurance BS absolutely perfectly as many are are aware of this can consume almost your entire day dealing with insurance companys when i tell you this office took care of everything perfectly i am not lying, but of course you the patient have to also due your part and make and keep your dr appointments for the pre medical clearance check ups etc. Dr A and his staff will stress the importance and explain the process of being in your best physical shape that you can be in before surgery so that you will heal and recover and have the most success possible. It has worked for me so far just as he told me it would, my weight the day of surgery was 404 and five days later i am feeling great my weight is now 385 i am not worried about losing the weight as long as i stay on track with Dr A and follow his plans i have the confidence that i will lose it. Dr a also holds very informative monthly support groups to help you stay on course

I JUST HAD A RECENT VISIT WITH DR.SEUN ON 12/15/2012 AND IT WENT WELL. HE IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND HE IS GREAT AT WHAT HE DOES. I HAVE HAD MY GASTRIC PROCEDURE ON 8/29/2012 AND I AM DOING WELL. I CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT HE HAS TOLD ME TO DO AND MY LIFE HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. AS OF NOW I'M DOWN 76 LBS AND HAVE BEEN OFF INSULIN SINCE SEPTEMBER 6TH.

IF ANYONE IS CONSIDERING THIS PROCEDURE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR.SEUN. HE SPEAKS TO YOU AND ANSWERS ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.
